"Type 88"
I don't think it is a Type 88. The only Type 88s around are in North Korea, which I don't think they would be handing out to a film that made it look bad. There are 5.45mm steel magazines for the AK around, like this: http://home.comcast.net/~shooter2_indy/ak74_mag_guide.html So I think it's just a mocked up AK74 to look like a North Korean Type 88.

- You're correct. That is quite obviously a Chinese Type 56-1 rifle (not an AK-74; the magazine is too curved for 5.45x39mm) mocked up to look like a DPRK Type 88 rifle. Some anonymous user changed it without our permission, because he apparently didn't stop to consider what you said. But you're right; there's no way that that's a genuine Type 88 rifle. North Korea, unlike the Chinese, has never exported its weapons for Western consumers, so there's no way that the movie's armorers could have access to a Type 88. -MT2008
- I agree with Hoot. There is no way an North Korean gun would find its way to a western movie.-Oliveira 21:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
why dont we have the bond movies titles in order so there easier to find?
- They're right here: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Category:James_Bond
Does Desmond Llewelyn need his own page? He played Q in all those movies, surely he's handled firearms at some point. --redram355 20:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Stechkin APS
Do North Korean soldiers use this machine pistol as one of their sidearms in real life?
- No, the North Korean People's army uses indigenously produced versions of the Tokarev TT-33 (as the Type 68), Makarov PM and CZ-75 (as the Baek-Du-San).
Why not? It's Russian.
- And what? Political and especially economic relations even between the USSR and the North Korea were not so best. In the USSR the Korean communists always considered a bit mad. And now economic relations between Russia and the North Korea are almost stopped, except official diplomacy. Besides the North Korea was always closer to China. Flexo 10:43, 2 October 2011 (CDT)
DShK image
Could an admin switch the DShK example image to this:
I just realised we didn't have a picture of the vehicle mount (which looks rather different to the normal gun) and I think this makes a better example. I'd do it myself but the page is locked. Evil Tim 23:59, 1 October 2011 (CDT)
